The first calendar we have is from Teresa Collins. It is a 32 page 2013 Calendar Album. I love this album because it has so many different facets to it. Of course, it has a place to keep track of your day to day things you need to remember, but it also has places to put pictures of memories and write them down (or maybe glue in some small keepsakes of those memories). It would be such a great year long project to continually add to, and would be so fun to go through at the end of the year - and years to come!
The next calendar idea is a lot of fun too! You just need to get a small, or a large, blank calendar - whichever you prefer. You could even print out a fun calendar (there are a lot of printables to be found on Pinteres). Then, make a fun page to the theme of each month with pictures of family and friends. This project is great because you can either sit down and do it all at once for a project, or you could stretch it out, and make one at the end of each month for the next coming month. You can also add as many or as little embellishment as you would like. This project is just for you so make it yours! Another idea would be to make it a year in review for the coming year with pictures from the past months and give it to Grandma and Grandpa as a Christmas gift at the end of the year.
Now that you have your calendar ideas, I would like to share some of the goals that I have for myself this year. I am going to have a new goal to work on each month. That way they will be easier for me to keep track of. This month, my goal is to go the whole month without fast food (so far so good)! We are moving in March so my goal that month will be to get everything unpacked and organized.
Last, but not least, for this months giveaway we are going to be giving away three of the Teresa Collins Project of the Month Calendars. To win, comment on this post telling me what some of your goals are this year! We will announce the winners next Wednesday, the 9th of January, so be sure to check back to see if you won!!
Happy Crafting
I have several goals this year: One is to scrapbook/papercraft more. Another is to exercise, take vitamins, and just be healthier. Lastly, get our house organized and more inviting.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution was t not make any...but ended up with one, and that is to think before I speak to avoid putting mu foot in my mouth! I do have a few crafty goals, and they are to finish my Disney album, start using more of the stuff I already have on hand, and purge the stuff I don't use. I'll need good luck with the last two
ReplyDeleteGREAT calendars and great goals too. My goal for 2013 is to REFOCUS. Refocus on walking, organizing, scrapping, bible reading, and soaking in every moment with my daughter. HAPPY 2013!
ReplyDeletegood morning and Happy 2013! goals: smile more, complain less, craft a whole lot more!

ReplyDeleteEvery year around mid November I start really getting bogged down. You see that is the week I have four birthdays all in a row and money gets spent from then till Christmas like water. So this year I want to spend the whole year preparing for Christmas and all those birthdays. I am going to try to buy or make gifts all year including wrapping them!
ReplyDeleteMy resolution for this year is to get in shape, finish all my scrapbooking projects, and get my house painted inside.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to complete at least one layout each week all year long, and to pray more often.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013! Goals: Organization, creativity, healthy! Possibilities!
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals this year is to "enjoy" life more. Take more time for the small moments, not stress out about too many things and to be happy with what I have and where I am in life.

ReplyDeleteThese are great keep the comments coming!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great miniature version of project life. My goal this year is to figure out an effective way to incorporate the new addition to our family due in a month while still making sure my older kiddo gets as much attention as he deserves to have. Going from one to two seems daunting but I'm looking forward to being able to teach my oldest how to become an awesome big brother!
ReplyDeleteGreat contest! My goal for this year is to lose weight. I had a baby last April and haven't been able to find time to exercise. I plan to at least eat better and try to cut out the junk food. I'm a sugar addict!
ReplyDeleteGoals... eating healthier, exercise more, a LOT more scrapbooking and crafting! Great give away.
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to stay focused on the tasks at hand, whatever that may be.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to stop procrastinating! So far I've done pretty well, just have to keep up the motivation for the next 11.5 months. LOL I have been making a list of projects and plans that I intend to follow through with.
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to be consistent in all I do. Especially in my scrapping!!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMy goals are to find a new career, spend more time with friends and to loose weight...and More Scrapbooking, of course!
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to re-organize my house. Yes, the 'whole' house. This month I'm organizing a craft closet.
ReplyDeleteGoals: Create more, especially art journal pages. Eat healthier. I love junk food. Would love to win too. Thanks for a chance to win the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAwesome calendars!! I have decided to make a list of goals/things (big & small) that I want to do/get done this year. Maybe when I check things off the list I will feel like I have accomplished something :-)
ReplyDeleteI have several goals this year. Clean out my basement, loose weight, organize my craft room and catch up on scrap booking to name a few. I want 2013 to be a year I look back on and say that I accomplished a lot and improved myself.
ReplyDeleteI've decided to live this year as if it was my last!
ReplyDeleteGreat calendars!!! My number one goal is to get more organized in my life, not so much as I am obsessed and can not accomplish anything or that I am unable to have fun and create. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy goals for this year are to stay organized as the Army moves us for the 3rd time in 3 years. This time from Virginia to Louisiana. My husband will be moving next month and myself and our kids will move in June after their school year is complete. I need to find good schools in New Orleans for our 2 boys and I would like to find a job and start working again in a paying job.

DeleteThank you for the opportunity to win the wonderful calendars. My goal this year is to get all the undone projects done before I collect any more. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteHi All!
ReplyDeleteI've already starting meeting my goals :) I cleaned my scraproom, which desperately needed it!! My goal is to craft more, take a nice yoga class for my aging body, and work at a normal human pace!
My goals this year are off to a grand start!! I have started beginning each day out with quiet time in reading my bible and in prayer. Secondly, I have worked on organizing my kitchen/bathroom/laundryroom...but my BIGGEST project is to get my art/craft studio totally rearranged and organized. Working on purging things I know I will not use again...and also thinking about incorporating some of these items back into new projects. I have also begun WeightWatchers on line and am off to a great start there...setting small, attainable goals that I can reach and feel successful often, for encouragement!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm in a rut because I'm one of those people who make the same goals every single year and I get half way through them, then for some reason I start to go backwards. I've decided that maybe I expect too much from myself so I pile on lots of goals in the beginning, which in turn sets me up for failure so this year.... So my goal is to get up and dust myself off, pick one thing at a time to work on and see it through to the end, then start on the next item on my list of things that I want to accomplish!
ReplyDeleteHoping to scrap more, lose ten pounds in time for two family weddings and just be present in my life!
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to go with the Project Life/PHoto freedom style of scrapbooking so I can get caught up to date on my photos. I am also now on a design team so I want to keep current on projects and become more organized in my craft room. Thanks for a great giveaway!!!
